Airbrush Hacks

For my loyal readers, you know how much I love airbrush and I know you do as well. To fill in the newbies, an airbrush system is a magical makeup tool that makes it so easy to achieve flawless makeup results. 

All LUMINESS airbrush systems are versatile tools, you can use an airbrush system to complete most of your makeup look and shorten your routine- no brushes required!

For those of you who are just starting to play with your new toy (airbrush system), I’m sure you have a few questions! Here are a few helpful tips that can elevate your airbrush results. 

IN BETWEEN FOUNDATION SHADES?

If you haven’t found one singular foundation shade that works for your skin tone, don’t worry with an airbrush system you can personalize your foundation shade!

One of the best airbrush features is the ability to mix shades…at home! Remember, I’m by no means a makeup artist so the fact that it’s easy for anyone to create a personalized foundation shade is amazing!

I’ve always been in-between shades and with traditional makeup, it never looked right or blend well when I would mix shades manually. Here’s how to effortlessly create the perfect foundation shade for your complexion. 

  1. Apply 3-4 drops of each shade into the foundation well 
  2. Firmly hold finger over the tip 
  3. Pull back on trigger to mix colors 
  4. Start applying your PERSONALIZED foundation

See, I told you airbrush elevates your makeup game, you can create the perfect shade right from your very own makeup chair! Isn’t this everything we’ve ever wanted?

Say goodbye to buying a new foundation every season! Take a peek at the amazing selection of airbrush foundations:

DYING FOR THE DEWY LOOK?

Has anyone else struggled with finding the perfect dewy finish? To me, I always felt like I either looked greasy or the dewiness was invisible, but with Airbrush Love Illuminator, I found the perfect in-between.

This hydrating formula contains a tinted sheer base which, when airbrushed on the skin, creates luminosity and natural dewiness to the skin. Here are a few ways I have fun with Love Illuminator.

For all dewy finish: 

-Add a drop or two of LOVE illuminator in with your foundation for a subtle glow.

or

Highlight (don’t worry, there’s no shimmer, just glow): 

-Apply lightly to your cheekbones, brow bone, nose, and cupid’s bow

As makeup lovers, I’m sure you are so happy to finally have found the PERFECT dewy finish (I know I am). 

BLUSH TOO MUCH? 

Are you loving your Airbrush Blush, but want to achieve a softer blush look? I’m here to save the day once again! I personally love blush, but I love the natural blush look.

Since LUMINESS’ blush is amazing and extremely high-pigmented, I have a quick tip that will give you a way softer look. 

  1. Apply airbrush blush on cheekbones
  2. Apply airbrush foundation over it! 

A simple fix is an understatement! I’m sure you use to the application of traditional makeup which requires blush after foundation, but if you’re looking for a softer look- apply blush first! 

OIL OVERLOAD?

Do you have a little too much shine and want a little bit more of a matte finish? Well then, you are going to LOVE this last tip. Here’s how I reduce my natural shininess.

  1. Before applying airbrush foundation, apply setting powder to oily areas like your brow bone, nose, and chin.
  2. Apply airbrush foundation
  3. Enjoy your oil-free flawless matte finish

Applying powder before airbrush foundation is a great way to absorb excess oil, this will ultimately lead to more of a matte finish. For peeps, with oily skin, I’m sure you’re stocking up on setting powder as we speak!

I’ve always struggled with oily skin, so this is for sure a go-to hack of mine. I recommend the Sheer Compact Finishing Powder, it is life-changing!

I hope all of my fellow airbrush lovers are excited to try some of my helpful tips and the newbies are looking forward to joining the airbrush world. Newbies, here’s the link to all of LUMINESS’ Airbrush Systems:

Shine Bright This Summer

It’s your time to shine! See what products can brighten up your beauty routine by making your complexion more youthful and radiant!

Upgrade your makeup bag and elevate your results this summer with these 4 LUMINESS must-have products!

ROSE 4-IN-1 FOUNDATION

Summer is a busy time of the year, which means we want to spend less time inside getting ready and more time outside to enjoy summer festivities. So, wouldn’t it be amazing to have a multi-purpose foundation to make your makeup routine shorter?

Well, great news, this life foundation exists and it’s called Rose 4-In-1 Foundation. Airbrush Rose 4-In-1 Foundation provides medium-full coverage and acts as your primer, concealer, foundation, and anti-aging serum.

This is the perfect foundation for summer because it shortens your routine and gives you flawless natural-looking results. Oh, and I’m sure you guessed this, but it smells like fresh roses. Isn’t it the best when your foundation smells fresh and clean? It doesn’t even feel like foundation at that point it’s more like a spa treatment! 

If you don’t need medium-full coverage, but love all that Rose 4-in-1 offers, I’d recommend Silk 4-In-1 Foundation. This foundation is also multi-purpose but it provides sheer to light coverage giving you a natural-looking beautiful finish.

LUMINESS offers foundations for all skin types, with a large variety of shades. To see the full collection, visit the airbrush foundation page:

LOVE ILLUMINATOR 

This product just screams healthy summer skin!!! Airbrush Love Illuminator hydrates while adding subtle illumination, warmth, and glow to the skin, keyword subtle. It’s not overly shiny or greasy looking at all, it’s the perfect soft dewy-finish we’ve been searching for!

If you want a dewy glow all over, you can apply the illuminator the same way you would apply your airbrush foundation, or you can even mix it in with your foundation!

If you’re like me and just want a little glow in certain areas, after applying foundation, apply Love illuminator to your brow bones, cheekbones, nose, and cupid’s bow! Both applications look gorgeous, it’s all preference! 

BAMBOO POLISH

Time to get rid of that stubborn dead skin that’s holding you back from flawless results. The Bamboo Polish Facial Exfoliant reveals a revitalized appearance, while greatly reducing clogged pores and removing dead skin. This will help you achieve amazing results because it will create a smooth canvas for your makeup. (AKA healthy and clean skin). 

If you have super sensitive skin, I’d recommend Superfruit Cleanser for a gentler exfoliation. This unique cocktail of papaya and pineapple enzymes balances moisture without stripping the skin of its natural oils.

The Superfruit Cocktail Cleanser smells just as good as it sounds, of course, it’s the perfect product for summer-it smells like a fruity tropical cocktail!

Both exfoliators thoroughly remove skin impurities, you cannot go wrong. Just please, don’t turn your back on exfoliating-be sure to exfoliate twice a week! Remember, we’re not just cleansing our skin, we’re prepping our canvases!! So pretty please, the flawless results you desire-take care of your skin!

SPF 30 SETTING POWDER

So, as I literally JUST mentioned, it’s important to take care of your skin by using the right products in your skincare routine, but a part of taking care of your skin is protecting your skin from the sun.

That’s why I use SPF Sunscreen Setting Powder for midday touch-ups! It’s great to protect your skin from the sun while absorbing excess oil, without ruining your makeup (you know how much I love multi-purpose).

The blotting powder also comes in the most convenient on-the-go packaging, they fit perfectly in any purse, wallet, or even your pocket!

OH…and I can’t forget about …..

I totally get that every makeup lover is different, depending on lifestyle or just personal preference, so I know it can be challenging buying beauty products for other people, but LUMINESS makes it easy. (and of course, I’m here to help)

I know I probably sound like a broken record, but remember without a solid skincare routine-it’s almost impossible to achieve flawless results without taking care of your skin. So don’t rule out skincare as a gift for your Mother! I’m breaking down the ultimate gift guide for every type of mom and beauty enthusiast to ensure your mom feels beautiful this Mother’s Day. 

Here’s a list of products your mom NEEDS this Mother’s Day.

I’m sure you guys saw this one coming, but all LUMINESS airbrush systems are PERFECT for moms. Airbrushing saves you so much time, by covering my imperfections so quickly and using one tool for almost your ENTIRE makeup routine!

You don’t have to worry about finding the right brush or making sure they’re clean because let’s be honest, who has time to clean their makeup brushes? Not moms!

They will most likely just buy new makeup brushes because it’s easier..which leads me to my next point. Airbrush also saves you so much money compared to traditional makeup!

There’s no need to replenish your makeup brush collection with airbrush, you use one tool for almost everything! With a LUMINESS Airbrush System, you can apply your eye and face makeup, fill in your roots, and also give yourself a natural-looking at-home spray tan!

LUMINESS Airbrush Systems are so versatile. Are you a super busy mom that’s always on the go? Don’t worry, the cordless breeze system can help you achieve flawless results from just about anywhere! There’s a perfect airbrush system for everyone, check out all the LUMINESS Airbrush Systems here:

And of course, the most important part, the results. You can achieve flawless results so easily with all LUMINESS airbrush systems. They cover imperfections so quickly and easily, making your routine shorter, but also give you AMAZING results. What’s better than that? I think my point is proven!

CONTURE TONING DEVICE

Okay so remember when I said you or your mom shouldn’t be sleeping on your skincare routine? Would you believe me if I told you, I know a way to exercise your face that doesn’t involve cardio? Well, it’s time to start exercising your skin!

My new favorite toy, the Conture Toning Device is a non-invasive anti-aging tool that tones your face and reduces wrinkles. The Contoure Toning Device utilizes Isometric Compression combined with low-frequency vibrations to gently stimulate and tone skin.

All you need is the Kinetic Treatment Serum and you can get to toning. This is the perfect gift for your mom because it’s easy to use and the results are insane! What’s a better gift than youthful-looking skin? Your mom will LOVE this and NEEDS this. 

VELVET VEIL

Velvet Veil Skin Perfecting Serum is so necessary for everyone…can’t you tell by the title? This serum smoothes fine lines and pores creating the perfect base for your makeup!

And it doesn’t stop there, Velvet Veil is essentially a primer that instantly mattifies and hydrates the skin, I even wear it without makeup sometimes- that tells you something about the results!

This allows mom to take a break from makeup for a day, but still feel confident in their skin. If you’re eyeing an airbrush system for your mom, throw in a bottle of Velvet Veil to enhance her airbrush results.

KINETIC SMOOTH DUO HAIR REMOVER

This hair remover is an absolute lifesaver..have you ever met anyone that enjoys the tedious process of traditional shaving? This hair remover can be used from ANYWHERE, no water or shaving cream required!

This powerful shaver easily removes hair without redness or bumps while covering larger areas with ease-if this isn’t a mommy must-have then I don’t know what is!

The fun doesn’t stop there, with this device you can switch the head for ultimate self-care. The Pumice Head can be used on rough areas like your feet, hands, and elbows to remove dead skin cells to achieve more radiant skin.

The Polishing Head works to remove surface oils and impurities from your face to brighten your complexion. For those of you with sensitive skin, I recommend the Silicone Cleansing Head.

It gently, but thoroughly cleanses the skin by massaging away all impurities. Can anyone say at-home spa day? And I’m not finished just yet, there’s one more!

The Smooth Massaging Head stimulates the skin for better absorption of serums and lotions while improving the appearance of puffiness and dark circles under the eye. Every mom deserves a relaxing spa day, why not give her the tools to do it from home! 

I hope all my fellow makeup lovers know EXACTLY what to get all the moms in their life for Mother’s Day. You are all about to be the favorite child for these AMAZING gifts.

At the end of the day, everyone deserves to feel beautiful. Flowers are great, but nothing beats a gift that keeps on giving! So give your mom or a special mom in your life a gift that will make them feel confident and beautiful every day, that is the greatest gift of all.

5 Must-Have Beauty Products for Summer 2021

Summer is right around the corner, and I’m sure you’re thinking about the perfect beach body and making plans for the 4th of July, but I won’t let you forget about your precious face AND the products that will elevate your beauty routine.

New season, new products. Every season is self-care season, because you and your beautiful face, deserve it!  Today I’m pretty much giving you the ultimate summer survival kit. Get ready to have the brightest complexion at the beach this summer!

Here are some must-have products for this upcoming season, that I cannot live without…

ICON PRO

This airbrush system is a must-have for every season because it’s so versatile. You can apply your face and eye makeup, fill in your roots, and give yourself a warm glow with the airbrush tanning tonic kit.

To prep for summer, I will DEFINITELY be giving myself a base with the airbrush tanning tonic using the faster speed on my Icon Pro, of course! This speed will help tan your body faster (which is AMAZING)…it looks so natural and it’s so easy to use.

I’m so thankful for my Icon Pro making my skin look flawless 365 days a year! You can achieve a full summer glow in just a few hours. Your body will go from Memorial Day to labor day in a snap!

TIP: Before self-tanning, be sure to exfoliate to remove dead skin to achieve a smoother surface for the tanning solution. I recommend Bamboo Polish Exfoliant, it reveals brighter and more radiant-looking skin.

Exfoliating and shaving before applying the tanning solution will allow your tan to look more natural and even! Don’t worry, I’m not expecting you to traditionally shave your entire body, no one has time for that. See my next summer must-have for the future of hair removal….

SILK AND SMOOTH

Who dreads shaving and wishing there was an alternative to traditional shaving besides the obvious expensive options like waxing or Lazor? The answer is everyone.

Everyone, I’d like to introduce you to the Silk and Smooth hair remover. This device is specially designed to gently target and remove unwanted hair without causing redness or irritation on your face.

Its older cousin the Silk and Smooth Body Hair Remover is ready to cover all of your body shaving needs with its duo blade razor head. I don’t dread shaving anymore, because these devices make it too easy! Remember to remove hair before you tan, to create a smooth even canvas! 

BREEZE 

Travel plans? After a year of no vacations, I’m sure you’re all dying to getaway. Don’t have room to pack your Icon or Legend system? The cordless Breeze system is the perfect airbrush travel buddy!

This airbrush system is cordless so you can do your glam from ANYWHERE and it’s the perfect size to fit in your carry-on. Instead of packing a million makeup brushes, all you have to do is pack your airbrush makeup and your handheld Breeze system-traveling.

The Breeze makes it easy to travel as a makeup lover. You can achieve flawless results from anywhere and everywhere using the Breeze Airbrush system.

TANNING TONIC MIST 

I know I mentioned airbrush tanning already, but I’m sure we’re thinking about what can I do to help my glow on the go? Don’t worry as always, LUMINESS, and I have your back.

The Tanning Tonic mist is perfect for on-the-go tanning or touch-ups. It adds a touch of warmth to your skin with just a quick spray, it’s so easy! Side note, it smells AMAZING.

I’m sure you’ve all experienced a smelly self-tanner, and we can all agree it’s awful, but tanning tonic mist smells like a fresh summer day! While giving your skin a beautiful glow, it also moisturizes and softens your skin. When I’m traveling, my tanning tonic mist is always in my suitcase!

SPF 30 SUNSCREEN SETTING POWDER

As someone who’s tried every blotting-pad ever and settled for toilet paper at a point, I was so happy when LUMINESS’ SPF Setting Powder came into my life.

The SPF Sunscreen Setting Powder is my absolute best friend. I never ever leave the house without it, but for Summer especially, it holds a special place in my heart (and purse).

Now, I never have to feel self-conscious about my oily skin throughout the day and also never have to worry about reapplying sunscreen! This setting powder is designed for on-the-go midday touch-ups.

It absorbs excess oil without messing up your makeup AND it protects your skin from the sun. This product takes multi-purpose to a WHOLE new level, I can blot while protecting my face from the sun making it look fresh all at the same time, it’s incredible. Sunscreen Setting Powder is a beach bag, makeup bag, going-out bag MUST HAVE. 

So, my friends, don’t let summer plans get in the way of your makeup results. Gift yourself with the products that will make your beauty routine easier and your results much better. Which product is number one on your summer wish list?

Why Every Mom Needs Airbrush in their Life

It’s me again, your friend, your beauty advisor, your life-saver (Not bragging, just happy to hold that title). With Mother’s Day coming up and since I’m always thinking about makeup, I’ve realized that I found the perfect gift for my mom, it’s something that will make her feel beautiful every day, and that in itself is the gift that keeps on giving!

This perfect gift is a LUMINESS airbrush system. I share all the things I love about makeup (particularly airbrush), so why wouldn’t I physically sign my mom up for the airbrush world?

As I’ve said many times, we ALL need airbrush in our lives. However, a makeup tool that saves you time AND gives you flawless results…that’s a no-brainer for every mom out there!

Moms if your reading this, I really hope you’re a member of the airbrush world by now. Also, shout out to the airbrush moms that have been recruiting other moms to fall in love with this amazing tool, no wonder millions are joining the airbrush world!

Here’s why an airbrush system is a perfect gift for all the moms in your life:

SAVES TIME

In this day and age, we all want to save time, but a mom rarely has a lot of time to apply makeup. *Enters Airbrush* Airbrushing saves me sooo much time in my daily routine, by covering my imperfections so quickly and using one tool for almost my entire makeup routine!

I don’t have to worry about finding the right brush or making sure they’re clean because let’s be honest who has time to clean their makeup brushes? 

Mom’s are busy and all they want to do is achieve flawless results! Well, moms, I have great news for you…airbrushing will give you the results you want quickly and consistently!

With systems like the Legend, Icon, and the Icon Pro you can apply eyeshadow, blush, bronzer…fill in your brows and roots and so much more. 

For moms that are always on the go and need a portable tool..don’t worry there’s a perfect system for you as well! The cordless Breeze Airbrush System is travel and carpool-friendly (only if you are in the park). This system is so easy to use and provides flawless results. 

COVERS ALL IMPERFECTIONS

LUMINESS offers a variety of airbrush foundations and shades, there are many different skin types and skin tones and LUMINESS understands that! For those of you who are frequent foundation wearers, I know you appreciate that. 

LUMINESS also provides foundations that have different finishes and coverage. For example, when my skins clear and I just need a little foundation to even my skin tone, I use Silk 4-In-1 Foundation, which is considered sheer coverage.

When I have dark circles and bad breakouts, my go-to is the Rose 4-In-1 Foundation. Both of these foundations also act as your concealer, primer, foundation, and anti-aging serum.

So like I said earlier, not only does the system itself shorten your routine, LUMINESS also has multi-purpose products-which is always a plus! 

We cannot forget about fine lines and wrinkles…my two favorite LUMINESS products to help hide fine lines and wrinkles are Velvet Veil Serum and CC Concealer.

Velvet Veil is a perfecting serum that soothes fine lines and pores, it’s magical. CC Concealer is an airbrush concealer that works the same way as a traditional concealer, but 20 times better.

It provides ultimate coverage and looks so natural! So you’ll apply the magic serum Velvet Veil first (with your hands), then concealer and foundation with an airbrush system. 

RESULTS

Lastly and most importantly, you should officially invite your mom to the airbrush world because she deserves to feel beautiful and confident! Gift your mom this magical tool so she can enjoy flawless results!

Your mom will think of you every time she does her makeup and thank you when she’s finished…I promise.

So friends, which airbrush system are you gifting to all the moms in your life? I’ll go first, I’m going to get my mom the Icon because I know she’s going to want to do full glam with the system and I’m going to get my grandma the Breeze because now that she’s fully vaccinated, she’s ready to be a world traveler again! I can’t wait to hear your gift ideas!

LUMINESS Airbrush Vs. Traditional Makeup

Airbrush systems and traditional makeup appear to be very different at first glance. The physical difference is obvious, but I’m here to share the super important differences that us makeup lovers, MUST KNOW!

Airbrushing will elevate your makeup routine and provide a long-lasting flawless finish, so as your makeup mentor- I’m encouraging you to take the airbrush leap! Here are the differences between airbrush and traditional makeup and why millions are joining the dark side…

 Application

Airbrush=touchless application, Traditional = messy 

The touchless application factor doesn’t seem like a big deal but when you think about that stubborn foundation stain on your vanity-touchless suddenly becomes life-changing.

With airbrush, you can avoid stubborn makeup stains… For once your hand won’t look like you swatched the entire color wheel (I know you all can relate). 

The touchless application also means you don’t have to blend, which we all know can be super time-consuming. The airbrush stylus is specifically designed for accurate application, meaning if the stylus is pointed at your cheekbone while following the basic airbrush rules- the perfect amount of product will be released, and your contour will look on-point! Remember the basic airbrush rules? Don’t worry I’ll remind you anyway!

1) Always keep your stylus moving 

2) Keep four fingers away from face

3)LIGHTLY pull back on trigger

Also- here’s another goodie for you, just one of my many helpful tips…if you like the natural blush look, apply your airbrush blush first, and then foundation over it. No brushes necessary. 

Even though we have a variety of systems, the application is just as easy with all of them! Our cordless Breeze System might look a little different from the Legend, but you can achieve the same amazing results!

Versatility

Airbrush= multi-functional, Traditional makeup brush= one purpose

Name a traditional makeup tool that you can use to apply eyeshadow, foundation, self-tanner, eyebrows, fill-in roots, blush, highlighter, bronzer, primer, and setting spray…. Any luck? 

Well, I have great news for you, you can apply all these products with any of our airbrush systems. Say goodbye to wasted time cleaning brushes and cluttered makeup bags!

Yes, you can apply airbrush eyeshadow and fill in your roots with the same system. Does it make sense now when I say airbrush elevates your makeup game? I thought so!  Save time and money using one tool to complete your makeup look. This leads to my next point…

PRICE

Airbrush= long-lasting products, Traditional makeup= frequent refills

I’m sure it seems like airbrushing is expensive between the machine and the actual makeup but compared to traditional makeup you end up saving a ton of money in the end!

Airbrush products are high-quality that not only last longer on your face but last-longer on your vanity. LUMINESS airbrush systems (if used correctly) release the perfect amount of makeup.

I can’t even count the number of times that I’ve wasted a huge clump of traditional makeup, nothing is worse than completing your makeup look, but you dumped out way too much makeup already, such a waste!

Think about all the money you spend on makeup brushes and makeup brush cleaner or getting your roots done! LUMINESS minimizes these expenses and stresses for you!

For those of you who have commitment issues, LUMINESS offers a 30-day trial for only $19.95, you have 30 days to fall in love and practice! If you strangely aren’t loving the system, you have the option to return the system.

As someone who wears makeup daily, I know cost is an important factor when considering a new makeup product. This is why airbrush just makes total sense for my budget and lifestyle.

Having a fast-paced lifestyle but being a makeup lover- I need a product that shortens my routine AND provides a flawless finish. I’ve found versatility and amazing results from airbrushing and I need my beauty squad to join me at the top of the makeup game! 

Results

Airbrush= Flawless long-lasting finish, Traditional makeup= Cakey, and unnatural finish

This is the most obvious difference, but also the most important. We all want to look and feel beautiful in our skin. Airbrushing provides flawless results that last all day.. I don’t even have to reapply or touch-up during the day!

Although airbrush covers imperfections, it still looks natural and the furthest thing from cakey- this is rare in the makeup world. LUMINESS airbrush systems make the impossible, possible by providing a full coverage foundation that covers all blemishes without looking like you’re wearing ANYTHING.

As someone who struggles with pimples and discoloration, full coverage is a MUST for me. Therefore, LUMINESS airbrush foundation has given me the results I’ve been looking for my entire makeup career! 

P.S, because I love my results and want them to last forever, I always use Final Seal Setting Spray to protect my glam throughout the day!

Although a few of these differences may seem obvious, I hope it’s just as obvious that airbrush is the perfect beauty tool for everyone and ANYONE! Millions of makeup lovers like yourself have recently joined the airbrush world and they are loving it just as much as I am! Please comment below and share your airbrush love story so we can geek out together.

How to Look Younger With Airbrush

Everyone wants a flawless finish and to achieve a perfect complexion- you need a high-quality product, and you must apply that product correctly.

Now, when I say flawless finish, I mean no blemishes, no fine lines, and wrinkles…NOTHING but radiant younger-looking skin (emphasis on younger-looking). Here’s how I use airbrush as a beauty time machine-my tips will take years off your face, 

FINDING THE RIGHT FOUNDATION

When searching for a foundation, it can be overwhelming- dewy, matte, sheer-oh my! However, if you are concerned about fine lines, you have to make sure you’re considering coverage.

Many times, when people see “full coverage”, they think it’s just for acne..but it’s actually for all imperfections-including fine lines and wrinkles. My personal fav foundation for covering fine lines and wrinkles is Rose 4-In-1.

The clean and vegan ingredients provide ultimate coverage and side note…it smells like a fresh bouquet of roses. Not only does it hide wrinkles, but it’s also a multi-purpose product-which is always a win for me.

Rose 4-In-1 acts as your foundation, concealer, primer, and anti-aging serum. This foundation takes years off your face and hours off your morning routine- it’s the definition of a makeup must-have.

I know it can be scary picking your color online but don’t worry LUMINESS has a virtual try-on feature that eliminates the stress of finding the perfect match! You HAVE to check it out:

HYDRATE SKIN

I’m always stressing the importance of a consistent skincare routine because it’s essential to achieve flawless results. We have to create that clean canvas people!!

Part of that skincare routine is moisturizing, which is especially important for those who are concerned with fine lines. Invest in a moisturizer or a serum that helps eliminate wrinkles.

A serum that I cannot LIVE without is the Snapback Serum. This serum’s ingredients tackle fine lines and wrinkles by increasing elastin and collagen levels that greatly reduce wrinkles.

Since using Snapback, I’ve noticed a drastic difference in my crow’s feet and frown lines. My sweet makeup lovers, If your serious about looking younger, add this to your skincare routine…NOW. Run don’t walk!

USING PRIMER

Primer is mainly used to smoothen your skin for a more even complexion, but there’s a primer for all skin types. Look for a primer that softens pores, fine lines, and wrinkles.

For example, Velvet Veil is the perfect primer for someone looking to hid wrinkles-it softens harsh fine lines with only 2 drops. Apply after moisturizer and before airbrushing for the best blurring results! 

Like I mentioned earlier, It’s super important to keep your skin hydrated, especially the areas with fine lines and wrinkles. Airbrush Moisturizing Primer is another great way to hydrate your skin-just have to point out that this is another multi-purpose product, just saying!

It’s the perfect blend of moisturizer and primer by preventing dryness and creating a smooth canvas for foundation.

HOW/WHERE TO APPLY OVER FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

Now, that we know what to apply let’s talk about where and how you apply airbrush foundation and concealer to cover wrinkles like crow’s feet.

To cover fine lines and wrinkles under the eye, you can break ONE of the airbrush rules…you can get two fingers away from your face for ultimate coverage but continue to follow the other basic airbrush rules: Keep your stylus moving in a circular motion, while LIGHTLY pulling back on the trigger, keeping it 2 fingers away from your face (in this case).

This simple step will help hide fine lines quickly and almost effortlessly. If you need help with this application, don’t worry honey-LUMINESS is here for you! Book an appointment with a LUMINESS makeup artist to perfect your anti-aging skills or anything airbrush!! Set up a quick appointment now!

So, my friends, this blog post just took 10 years off your life-you’re welcome in advance. I promise that these tips will help you look younger and fall in love with your airbrush results.

Airbrushing is truly equivalent to a magic wand. Let me know how the magic of airbrush has impacted your makeup routine in the comments.

Common Makeup Mistakes

As beauty lovers, we’ve all had a fair share of makeup fails. I’m guilty of putting eyeliner in my waterline and wearing foundation like its self-tanner for about six years straight.

But, thankfully for my beauty community, I’ve learned from my makeup mistakes and I’m always open to learning how to improve my makeup game. Here are common makeup mistakes that I’ve witnessed and how I avoid them! 

Overspraying When Airbrushing

This is a VERY common mistake when airbrushing. As in, I have done this like every time the when I first started airbrushing, Overspraying is so common because we’re so used to traditional makeup, we want to see the makeup instantly, but that’s not how airbrushing works.

Overspraying happens from pulling back on the trigger way too hard and spraying too close to your face. Remember to keep the system four fingers away from your face and ever so LIGHTLY pull back on the trigger-so lightly, you want to question if it’s even releasing the product and always keep the system moving.

After one full pass around your entire face, check to see if you like the coverage. If you feel you need more coverage, you can repeat the process! These quick and easy tips will make a huge impact on your results and give you the flawless results you deserve. 

Giving up on Airbrush After your First Try

 Listen, guys, I know I’ve said many times in my previous blog posts (maybe too many) BUT airbrush takes practice before you feel totally comfortable with it. Don’t let your first try discourage you, I’m here to help you feel confident in your application.

My first time using the airbrush was with the Legend, and it was super intimidating to me at first, but after playing around with my new toy a few times, I became quite the airbrush pro!

But I couldn’t have gotten to that place of comfort without following the basic airbrush rules. Like I mentioned earlier, hold your airbrush four fingers away from your face, always keep the system moving, and lightly pullback in the trigger.

Not only am I here to offer tips and tricks, but LUMINESS offers 1:1 appointments and group sessions to answer any makeup-related questions you may have. So you know LUMINESS has your back and you are never alone on your airbrushing journey! Click here to book a 1:1 appointment or group session!

Not Prepping your Skin Properly

If you’ve read my previous blog posts, you know how important it is to have a clean and healthy canvas for makeup application. And for those of you who are new, by canvas, I mean face!

I’m a firm believer in consistent skincare routines that make your skin fresh and smooth. Start with exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and bacteria. I use the Bambo Polish for thorough exfoliation, it makes my skin glow and rejuvenates my complexion.

Then, cleanse your canvas with Superfruit Cleanser! This multi-purpose cleanser provides regeneration of skin cells and helps improve overall skin tone and texture. Not to mention, it smells absolutely amazing – papaya and pineapple just smell like happiness!

Consider skin care a part of your daily makeup routine and you will see big improvements in your results. Also, don’t forget to apply primer before applying foundation. My favorite primers are Velvet Veil and Airbrush Boost it Primer.

If you’re looking to hide all fine lines and pores, Velvet Veil is a must-have for you. If you need a complexion boost to brighten your skin, start your makeup routine with Airbrush Boost it Primer.

Incorrect Concealer Application

As much as we love concealer and it’s a lifesaver for many reasons. Shoutout to Nude Illusion Concealer for covering up many sleepless nights and discoloration.. Have I ever told you you’re my hero?

With that being said, if over-applied or applied incorrectly your concealer can take away from your beautiful glam and we do NOT want that. I guess you can call concealer your frenemy… BUT, as always I have my fellow makeup lover’s backs. Let’s talk about the top do’s and don’ts of concealer. 

First things first, DO NOT over-apply.  With concealer, a little goes a longgggggg way. Too much concealer will emphasize fine lines and look cakey. Remember your concealer should be a shade lighter than your foundation to brighten your eyes, but if you apply too much you can look like you fell asleep with your sunglasses on at the beach. So please, with concealer less is more-trust me!

Now, let’s talk about where you put your small, yet mighty, amount of concealer. Using the Nude Illusion applicator, apply two short lines on the outer corner of your lower lashes and then apply from the inner eye to halfway down your nose.

Then, blend concealer in a dabbing motion around the entire eye. Lastly, use Blending Sponge or brush to press Setting Powder into the concealed area to prevent makeup from settling into fine lines.

More Mascara More Problems

I’m sure you guys don’t need me to tell you this, but clumpy is NEVER cute. It’s a common misconception that certain mascaras are clumpy because of their formula, which may be the case, but your application is usually the main cause for clumps.

You should never apply more than two coats of mascara and you shouldn’t feel like you need to (if it’s good quality). Be sure to use a mascara that makes it easy to coat all lashes with only two strokes!

For example, Distraction Mascara’s brush allows you to coat the inner lashes with its thin tip while applying mascara to the outer lashes with the thicker end. (It’s amazing!) You also avoid every makeup wearer’s worst nightmare….getting makeup on your nose after completing your makeup. There will be NONE of that with distraction mascara!

Also, side note, you should use a new mascara every month to avoid infections and achieve optimal results. Give your lashes the love they deserve, bye crusty clumps! 

These common mistakes have very simple solutions, it’s just a matter of applying these tips to your makeup routine! As we’re all passionate makeup lovers, I’m so curious to hear what common makeup mistakes you guys are seeing and how to fix them! Share your makeup do’s and don’ts in the comments below. Looking forward to learning from my makeup posse!

Why I Ditched Traditional Makeup

Once upon a time, there was a girl who was passionate about makeup and always eager to try new products. She’s spent her whole life wearing makeup, loving makeup, talking about makeup and so she thought she had all the beauty bases covered.

Then, one day, she discovered a different way of applying makeup that required a shiny new tool. That tool was an airbrush system and that curious girl was me! 

For those of you who’ve read my previous blog posts, you’ve heard my love story with airbrush and my discovery process. However, the list of why I ditched traditional making is on-going and growing..

For those of you who have NEVER read my blog before, you’re in for a treat because I’m going to introduce you to the world of airbrush. I’ll explain why you NEED airbrush in your life, how you achieve flawless results and you, my friend, will be tossing your liquid foundation in the garbage by the end of this post. 

SAVES ME MONEY

As for makeup lovers, we can spot a high-quality product from a mile away. However, people will claim that a product is high-quality because it’s expensive and that is not always the case.

Since I use makeup every day, I need long-lasting, affordable products and thankfully my LUMINESS airbrush system is the gift that keeps on giving! First and foremost, if used correctly the airbrush system releases very little product. (Like up to 10 times less than my regular makeup!) 

This is because of the great coverage and active ingredients in all LUMINESS foundations. 

Second, not only do you achieve a flawless finish from airbrush foundation, but you can also use your airbrush system to fill in your eyebrows, roots, apply eyeshadow, full contour, and give yourself a glow with self-tanner!

Do you know how much time and money that saves you? Say goodbye to soaking your makeup brushes for days or buying multiple brushes for different products because your airbrush system has you covered.

I can’t even imagine how much money I’ve wasted on makeup brushes and spray tans throughout the years… 

It’s a no-brainer – airbrushing allows you to achieve professional-looking results AND you save money? Hello, sign me up! Airbrushing is a makeup lover’s best friend because of its affordable, easy, quick application and the results are unmatched! 

SHORTENS MY ROUTINE (AKA SAVES ME TIME)

Airbrushing cuts my makeup routine in half! (Seriously, I have timed it.) Airbrush covers imperfections much quicker than a traditional foundation brush, so say goodbye to blending with stubborn brushes and hello to the magical mist of airbrush.

So yes, the actual system applies the perfect amount of foundation with ease making your routine shorter and your job MUCH easier! It does all the blending for you!

LUMINESS also has multi-purpose foundations, which saves me SO much time on a daily. I am #TeamMultiPurposeProducts. I’d like to introduce you to two life-changing foundations Rose 4-In-1 and Silk 4-In-1.

These foundations are also your concealer, moisturizing primer, and anti-aging serum. And, there’s a perfect multi-purpose for everyone. Rose Foundation provides medium-full coverage (and smells like a spa day).

Silk Foundation, is sheer-medium coverage, silky smooth finish – allowing the best you to shine through (the name is SO fitting). See, I told you airbrushing is the gift that keeps giving!

Are your foundation brushes in the garbage yet? 

THE BRAND

Personally, I like to purchase products from brands whose values and vibe align with mine. I like to think I’m super caring and supportive, I mean this blog for example…I’m here to support fellow beauty lovers because I care and I want everyone to feel beautiful! And that’s exactly how LUMINESS operates.

LUMINESS provides support in so many ways, starting with hosting FB lives M-F @9:30am CT to talk everything airbrush, but if you’re not a morning person, don’t worry!

You can book a 1:1 appointment or group session with an airbrush artist for any makeup support you may need. Sign up now and tell them Liv sent you. Trust me, I’ve learned from the best, you’re in GREAT hands.  Here’s the link: https://luminessbeautybar.as.me/schedule.php 

Another commendable action by LUMINESS is their new partnership with ASPCA. LUMINESS is teaming up with ASPCA to join the fight against animal cruelty.

For every airbrush system sold, LUMINESS will donate $1 to ASPCA, with a maxim donation of $50,000. It’s great to see a brand that gives back, I love how LUMINESS cares about its customers and community. 

RESULTS (OBVI)

Although the other perks of airbrushing are MUCH appreciated and wonderful, the ultimate goal is to love your results! We all deserve to feel beautiful and thanks to airbrush, I feel confident no matter how tired I am or how many blemishes I’m fighting-airbrush always has my back.

Airbrush foundation also lasts all day long – no touch-ups necessary! This is super important to me because my days are packed. I barely have time to apply my makeup the first time – you think I have time to fix it?

Even though airbrush foundation is long-lasting on its own, to ensure your face stays mask-proof/life-proof, I use Final Seal Setting Spray. Once you’re done applying your makeup, just give your face spray and you’re good for up to 18 hours!

So, friends, I hope my airbrush fairytale made you rearrange your vanity because it’s time to make room for a makeup routine upgrade. Comment below and share your airbrush journey with me, I can’t wait to hear about your amazing experience. Happy airbrushing!
